Shortcut key to place an order

General Discussions

Hello guys,

I have 2 questions about to place an order. Actually I use the shortcut key “shift+left click” with stop market.

First question:
The problem is, actually, when my mouse is on top of the price, I buy, if my mouse is below to the price, I sell.
But I would like to decide to buy or sell anywhere. Is it possible with a shortcut key?
Per example “shift+left click” = buy order, where I have my mouse, and “shift+right click” = sell order, where I have my mouse too.

Second question:
When I place an order, I only see the line where I placed it. Is it possible to also display my Stop Loss and Take Profit line? Or do I have to wait for the order to be triggered to see the SL and TP lines?

Thank you so much
